Project overview

Metro Transit and the City installed a bus lane on 7th Street between 1st Avenue North and Chicago Avenue in downtown.

7th street is a key downtown transit corridor. It services communities in both North and South Minneapolis with a combination of

  • Bus rapid transit (BRT)
  • Local service
  • Express service

Currently the METRO C Line and seven other routes travel along 7th Street. The METRO D Line is scheduled to begin service in 2022.

Bus lanes work to help the City make progress towards its mode shift goal and climate goal.
